Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Dante Fowler on Sunday for violating team rules and conduct unbecoming a Jaguars football player.Neither one will make the trip to Minnesota on Tuesday for two days of joint practices and a preseason game. The teams play Saturday.Fowler was involved in several fights Sunday http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/vinny-curry-jersey , including one after practice with fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. Ramsey shouted profanities at media members who captured the altercation on video and later threatened reporters with "war" for releasing the video. Ramsey made his threat via Twitter.The team released a one-sentence statement Sunday evening announcing the suspensions. Coach Doug Marrone is expected to address the decision Tuesday.The whole thing seemingly started during practice and carried off the field.Ngakoue and Fowler exchanged words while leaving practice, prompting a skirmish in which no punches were thrown. Ngakoue and Fowler got into it again outside the practice-field gates and had to be pulled apart by teammates, coaches and security personnel. General manager Dave Caldwell could be seen leading Ngakoue away by the wrist.The altercation came on the last of 11 consecutive practices in full pads and in sweltering heat and humidity. It also came a few minutes after a scuffle near the end of practice, when Fowler appeared to shove tight end James O'Shaughnessy out of bounds following a reception. Teammates rushed to break it up.The suspension is the latest issue for Fowler, whose checkered past includes two arrests.Fowler was arrested last year after confronting a 55-year-old man who made a comment about his driving. St. Petersburg police said Fowler exchanged words with the man before hitting him and knocking off his glasses. Fowler then stepped on the glasses before taking the man's grocery bag and tossing it in a lake.Fowler eventually pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery, criminal mischief and petty theft. The case was closed in March http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/lavonte-david-jersey , with Fowler sentenced to a year of probation and 75 hours of community service.The NFL suspended him without pay for the season opener, a one-game penalty that will cost him $214,000.Fowler also was arrested in Miami Beach in March 2016 and charged with misdemeanor counts of assault against a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. The charges were later dropped. That arrest came a little more than two weeks after a video surfaced showing Fowler refereeing a fight between his girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend. He also has a long list of traffic violations.Fowler missed the first two weeks of training camp while recovering from a shoulder injury. He was removed from the physically unable to perform list Saturday, so his altercation with Ngakoue came during his second day of practice.Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft, is in the final year of his rookie contract and due to make $3.64 million. He has 14 sacks the last two seasons http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/kwon-alexander-jersey , including two in the AFC championship game.Ngakoue, a third-round pick in 2016 who beat out Fowler for the starting job as a rookie, is due to make $735,000 in base salary in 2018. With 20 sacks and 11 forced fumbles in two seasons, Ngakoue is considered one of the cornerstones of Jacksonville's vaunted defense.Ramsey is another key piece. The fifth overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft exchanged barbs with Baltimore receiver Steve Smith as a rookie and got ejected for fighting with Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green last season.Ali Marpet signs contract extension with Bucs A favorite among many — both within the organization and among the fans — will stick around in Tampa Bay for six more years.The Buccaneers announced today that guard Ali Marpet has signed a six-year extension through 2023.“One of our top priorities heading into this season was to secure our core players to long-term deals and I am thrilled to add Ali to that list,” said Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht. “In his first four seasons http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/vernon-hargreaves-iii-jersey , Ali has developed into one of the league’s best offensive guards and we believe he will only continue to improve. His ability to play multiple positions across the line, along with his strong work ethic and overall leadership abilities, were all important factors in our decision to ensure he remains a Buccaneer for the long term.”Marpet was a second-round draft pick in 2015. Since being drafted, he has started every game he has played in. His versatility makes him an asset to the team as he is currently playing at left guard after experimenting at center last season. He was at right guard the previous two seasons.The 25-year-old has been a part of a line that has helped boost the Bucs offense to the top of the league and has been ranked as one of the top offensive lineman in the NFL.“I feel incredibly grateful,” said Marpet. “It’s awesome that the Buccaneers wanted me here as much as I wanted to stay here. I love the Tampa Bay community and the organization and I want to thank the Glazer family for making this possible.”NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo has the details for the extension.

Kendrick Norton and Jeremiah Sirles released The Panthers have made some moves along the fringe of the roster Color Rush Shaq Thompson Jersey , according to Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.The injury settlement with Sirles comes as a bit of a surprise, as the move suggests that the versatile lineman wasn’t in the Panthers’ plans despite starting the team’s penultimate preseason contest. Depending on the severity of Sirles’ injury and the terms of the settlement, the Panthers could technically re-sign him later this season, but that kind of move rarely happens. The addition of quarterback Connor Cook to the practice squad gives the Panthers four quarterbacks across the active roster and practice squad. To make room for Michigan State’s all time leading passer, the Panthers waived 2018 seventh round pick Kendrick Norton. It’s usually not a good look for a team to cut a draft pick in their first season http://www.authenticscarolinapanthers.com/cheap-jarius-wright-jersey , but at the 242nd selection Norton was nothing more than a glorified undrafted free agent. As for Cook, he was selected in the 4th round of the 2016 draft by the Oakland Raiders, where he spent the first two seasons of his career. His first NFL action came in the final game of the 2016 season, where he filled in for an injured Matt McGloin. Against a tough Broncos defense, the rookie completed 14 of 21 passes for 150 yards Youth Greg Olsen Jersey , 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. The following week he made his first career start, the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to do so in a playoff game, against the Houston Texans, and it did not go well. He completed just 18 of 45 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown to go along with three interceptions as the Raiders lost the contest 27-14. He didn’t see the field in 2017 and was released by the Raiders last week after they traded for AJ McCarron. Despite the early ups and downs Youth Ryan Kalil Jersey , Cook comes with more NFL pedigree than any quarterback on the Panthers roster not named Cam Newton. He might prove to not have it what it takes to succeed in the NFL, but it’s good to see the Panthers take a flier on a young quarterback with a decent amount of potential.Engaging the Enemy: Brian joins the Falcoholic to talk Panthers at Falcons I joined Jeanna Thomas and DW to discuss the upcoming divisional matchup on Sunday for your podcasting pleasure. This is a very important game for both teams, as the Falcons try to right the ship after an 0-1 start and the Panthers try to rally to 2-0 despite several awful injuries. Topics discussed include:How injuries have sucked in general for both teamsHow the Panthers offense will fair against a banged up Falcons defenseHow a terrible slew of injuries ravaged the Panthers offensive line, and how they will try to combat these issuesScoring predictionsSome Saints trash talk (as always) along with some general banter between the rival writersScore predictionsThis is always a fun time with these two, despite their choice of NFL team. We always keep it playful and real Color Rush Devin Funchess Jersey , and there’s really never a sense of homerism.Check out the podcast here, and let us know what you think!

Defensive end Julius Peppers took a vet day like he has every previous Wednesday this season. And Color Rush David Mayo Jersey , just like every other week, it shouldn’t affect his game day status on Sunday.Torrey Smith also missed practice today after hurting his knee on Sunday, but he was walking around without a brace so that’s probably good news.Okay, I’m about to type words that will make you freak out Youth Trai Turner Jersey , so just trust me—don’t do it. It’s gonna be okay, guys. I promise.Cam Newton was limited today in practice with a sore shoulder. Don’t panic, y’all. It’s gonna be fine.See. It’s fine. Don’t be concerned... at least not yet.Here is today’s full injury report:Panthers injury reportDid not participate in practiceS Mike Adams (rest)DE Mario Addison (back)DE Julius Peppers (rest)LB Andre Smith (hamstring)WR Torrey Smith (knee)Limited participation in practiceTE Greg Olsen (foot)QB Cam Newton (shoulder)Full participation in practiceN/APractice StatusDid not participate in practice = 0% of a player’s normal repetitionsLimited participation in practice = Less than 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsFull participation in practice = 100% of a player’s normal repetitionsGame StatusOut = Player will not playDoubtful = Player unlikely to playQuestionable = Uncertain if player will playWhy aren’t more people talking about Dontari Poe? The Charlotte Observer recently had an interview with Panthers defensive tackle Dontari Poe. The interview, in short http://www.authenticscarolinapanthers.com/cheap-mario-addison-jersey , was quite amusing. Not because there was any type of breaking news or anything, but because Poe is a man of few words. Poe didn’t need to go into details. He said what he needed to say and I respect that. This man that’s 345 pounds rather use his words on the field. But what I want to know is, why aren’t more people talking about him?The Panthers acquired Poe back in March on a three-year, $28 million deal. Previously Color Rush Torrey Smith Jersey , Poe was with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons. He has two Pro Bowls and two fat man touchdowns under his belt (not including a touchdown pass). Although he’s only recorded 15.5 sacks, he’s assisted for 61. Poe is arguably the Panthers best pickup in free agency this year. He’s versatile, quick for his size, and physical. Ron Rivera has raved about Poe’s physical ability thus far in training camp. Poe will help fill the void of losing Star Lotulelei in the 2018 free agent market. The Panthers weren’t stellar on the pass rush last season. Poe will only boost that area of need. But I really hope Poe gets another fat man touchdown this season.

Treading his way to becoming one of the finest footballers of the current generation, France's Kylian Mbappe is shutting down all those who doubted Paris Saint-Germain's ability to play without their leader Neymar Jr., who is out due to a fractured metatarsal and Forward Edinson Cavani, who was ruled unfit to play with a thigh injury earlier in the week.
In what was presumed to be a complete massacre of the visiting PSG against a rejuvenated Manchester United, the 20-year-old Frenchman led a team surrounded by scare stories of the season already coming to an end for them.
But despite playing on their home ground, it felt as if the Red Devils founds themselves on foreign territory as PSG charged at them with all their might from the start.
Dominating the possession of the ball for over 56% of game-time, the Saint-Germain attack slammed United goalkeeper David de Gea with five shots on target. Despite trying his best to keep ManU in the contest, de Gea was unable to prevent the two second-half goals from happening.
While Presnel Kimpembe scored on a brilliant volley on the precise corner from Angel Di Maria in the 53rd minute, it was Kylian Mbappe's superhuman sprint before a top-notch finish on a Di Maria assist for the second goal that drew people's attention.
Known to have a top-speed of 44.7 kmph (which was recorded during the match between PSG and Lille OSC, Mbappe zoomed past United defenders Eric Bertrand Bailly and Victor Lindelöf and covered a little over 37 yards in less than four seconds for the finish.
Mbappe with his pace nets another goal for the French side. pic.twitter.com/Z1mkU12s56
— BOLUð (@beespeakz) February 12, 2019
This was the 20-year-old's 14th Champions League goal in 24 appearances, which led to the French Forward matching the legendary Ronaldo's record which he attained after playing as many as 40 games.
Twitter instantly showed love towards Mbappe's quickness and the memes began to roll in:

'Gully Boy' is one of this year's most anticipated movies which is inspired by the life story and achievements of rappers Divine and Naezy. Director Zoya Akhtar decided to make a movie on the lives of such upcoming hip-hop singers and rappers in Mumbai, and that's how 'Gully Boy' came into being.

Revenue from services was a major contributing factor in Apple's revenue growth even though iPhone sales have plateaued in various countries. However, according to the latest estimates by Goldman Sachs, Apple received a lot of money from the search engine giant to remain the default search engine of Apple's Safari browser.
An analyst for Goldman Sachs wrote in a note to investors:
“Apple will need to add mid to high single digits growth back to Services revenues through successful launch of the 'Apple Prime' bundle including original video that we expect to be rolled out this Spring/Summer.”
Estimates tell us that Google paid Apple anywhere near $9 and $10 billion which is a lot of money to spend to remain as a default search engine. Having said that, Apple is probably one of the biggest source of traffic for Google and in order to maintain those numbers, Google has to pay Apple a substantial amount every year. To put things into perspective, Apple accounts for roughly half of all mobile revenue and traffic.
The payment basically ensures that Google remains as the default search engine on every iOS device. Apple is in a very good position where the company can demand more money over the years. Apple can obviously approach other search engine websites like Bing if Google choses not to pay the price in the future.
This payment ensures Google will continue as the default search provider on iOS devices rather than a rival search engine. The downside to the agreement is that Apple can continue to push prices up each year and, if Google ever refuses to pay the amount, the Cupertino firm can simply approach a rival such as Microsoft and make Bing the default search engine.
This is pure profit for Apple as the company's install base is increasing to grow even though sales of iPhones may have staggered.

They were fully prepared for Baltimore rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson's slippery running style and the Ravens' refurbished rushing attack.Jackson dared the Bucs (5-9) to catch him if they could. They couldn't.Jackson ran for 95 of Baltimore's 242 yards on the ground Authentic Ronnie Stanley Jersey , and the Ravens formally eliminated the Bucs from playoff contention with a 20-12 victory Sunday.Named the start earlier in the week over a healthy Joe Flacco, Jackson repeatedly slithered and juked through the Tampa Bay defense. He averaged 5.3 yards per carry and kept the Bucs guessing by throwing 23 times for 131 yards."He's very elusive," Tampa Bay defensive end Carl Nassib said. "I did have my hands on him. I had plays to make and I didn't make them. I've got to make them in the future."Jackson would have surpassed 100 yards rushing if not for losing nine yards on his final four carries, including three kneel-downs in victory formation."He's the reincarnation of Michael Vick," Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. "He's a lot faster than you think on the field. When you see him in person, he can really run. He controls the defense well. They put him in great positions; he's going to be good for a long time."Tampa Bay is merely one in a series of teams to be run over by Jackson, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner and the 32nd overall pick in the NFL draft.The Ravens are 4-1 since Jackson took over for Flacco, who was sidelined with a sore right hip. Flacco is healthy now, but coach John Harbaugh didn't want to mess with a good thing.So, having retained the starting job, Jackson ran all over the defenseless Bucs."He adds an element to their run game," linebacker Lavonte David said. "He's fast, and they use him really well. They put him in situations where he can tuck and run it or make adjustments and execute."As new defensive coordinator Mark Duffner's scheme continues to evolve, Sunday's performance was proof that there's still substantial work to be done. That was especially evident as Jackson and Gus Edwards (19 carries Youth Joe Flacco Jersey , 104 yards) darted through holes big enough to elongate drives."You've got to be disciplined in every game that you play and at times we weren't disciplined," Nassib lamented.The defense wasn't Tampa Bay's only shortcoming. The Bucs could muster only 241 yards in offense, with Jameis Winston going 13 for 25 for 157 yards (64 on one pass to Mike Evans) and an interception."They have a good defense, so kudos to them," Winston said. "The rain made it very hard at times. Considering the conditions, I thought we did pretty well. But we needed to execute better, especially on third down."Tampa Bay was 3 for 10 on third down and failed to convert its only attempt on fourth down.The Bucs are essentially done this year, but it's not too soon for Winston to start stating his case to start for Tampa Bay next season."My future is in God's hands," he said. "Of course losing bothers me, but I feel blessed to be playing in the NFL." Joe Haden knows about losing to the Baltimore Ravens.The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback has been on the losing end of 11 of his 14 games against Baltimore. Ten of those 11 came when he was with the Cleveland Browns. He's only lost to the Ravens once with the Steelers, 26-14 in Week 4 of this season.That one felt different. So will the game Sunday, where the Steelers secondary will look to take another step in a third straight game against an AFC North rival."I think being here and (in Cleveland), (the Steelers are) at the top of the division most of the time, seeing who can win it and fighting for the division winner http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-maxx-williams-jersey ," Haden said."So I think that's just a little different toward the end of the season, knowing these games (against Baltimore) could be big when we get to the end, determining who can get to the playoffs."The secondary could obviously be better than it was in the previous matchup, Haden said. Defensive coordinator Keith Butler agreed.Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns against a Steelers secondary that allowed an average of 305 passing yards through its first four games."We have to make sure, as much as we can, that we keep the ball in front of us," Butler said. "We can't give up easy touchdowns. Teams go up, we have to make them go up by (field goals) and not let them go up by seven, if we can."Ravens wide receiver John Brown had 116 yards and one touchdown on just three receptions in the first matchup against Pittsburgh. Haden knows that can't happen again."He's a small dude, obviously. He's small, really fast," Haden said. "You have to make sure you keep him in front of you. He can really beat you. ... He had those two deep balls on us, so we have to contain that."If Pittsburgh's past three games are any indication, the defensive backs might have a better chance against Brown this time.Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was held without a catch until the fourth quarter of a 41-17 loss to the Steelers in Week 5 Justin Tucker Jersey , when he had a season-low 62 yards. The following week, A.J. Green caught seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards in a 28-21 Cincinnati Bengals loss to Pittsburgh.Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry had 39 yards on eight receptions in the Steelers' 33-18 win last Sunday.Haden matched up against each of those three. He wouldn't say who would be responsible for Brown from Pittsburgh's secondary, which is expected to have cornerback Artie Burns in the mix after using him exclusively on special teams against Cleveland.Burns was disciplined after arriving late to a team walkthrough Saturday.Cornerback Mike Hilton, whom Haden called one of the Steelers' best players, said no matter who is called upon, limiting Brown is a must for Pittsburgh.After missing the first matchup with an elbow injury, Hilton also said he has a plan for Sunday."There were certain things I did see," Hilton said. "I feel like I'll be able to, I'm not going to say make every play, but help control the outcome of that play. So personally, I feel like from what I saw from the last game and what I've seen up until now, I have a solid idea what to expect."NOTES: QB Ben Roethlisberger (left finger), LB Bud Dupree (illness) and C Maurkice Pouncey (did not practice Wednesday/coaches' decision) were full participants Thursday. ... CB Coty Sensabaugh (toe) and OL Marcus Gilbert (knee) were limited. ... OL Ramon Foster (coaches' decision) did not practice.

Whatever people say about cricket and its diminishing following in India, the game of bat and ball continues to be the favourite sport of majority of the 1,300,000,000+ Indian. Throughout the years and years of ardent worshipping of the game and its men, we have tried to involve cricket in our lives in whatever way possible.
To add to this unique relationship that Indians have had with the sport, Sampurnanand Sanskrit University in Varanasi decided to spend a day becoming the part of the cricketing world in the most traditional way they could think of.
On the occasion of the university's platinum jubilee on Tuesday, 12th February 2019, Dhoti-Kurta clad players entered the university's cricket field to celebrate the monumental achievement of the institution.
In what was a one-day tournament, a total of five teams participated, as reported by the Times of India, all of which had their own respective 'jersey' in the form of colourful dhoti-kurtas. Even the umpires had donned the look from top to bottom.
While the cricketers in their unorthodox sporting attires looked unbelievably comfortable, running around the field, what stole the show for the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University was the Sanskrit commentary.
On what was a desk of the most distinguished, learned and knowledgeable professors of the university, sat two commentators who made their way through the entire tournament, talking about the smallest of details about the games in Sanskrit with the utmost ease and fluency.
“The students of Sampurnanand Sanskrit university who usually carry vedas, prayer books and pen in their hands, have picked up a bat and a ball and are playing a game of cricket in their traditional clothes of dhoni, kurta and tika to celebrate 75 years of success of their institution of education,” said Acharya Pawan Kumar Shastri, one of the professors present at the venue to TOI.

The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly worked out five running backs on Friday afternoon http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-willie-snead-iv-jersey , per ESPN’s Field Yates. Baltimore currently has three running backs on their active roster — Alex Collins, Javorius Allen, and Gus Edwards.However, the Ravens’ running game has not gotten off to the start they had hoped. It is not entirely the running backs’ fault for the poor results in the running game but adding another tailback could give them a necessary spark. Jamaal Charles is the big name on this list as he was a playmaker in Kansas City for several years. He was one of the top running backs in the league with the Chiefs, but those days are behind him. Since being released from Kansas City, Charles has played for the Broncos and Jaguars. In 16 total games over the last two season, he has amounted 303 rushing yards and one touchdown. Charles was reportedly mulling over retiring after being released by the Jaguars, but that could change if the Ravens decided to kick the tires on him. Another interesting name on this list is former Iowa Hawkeye running back Akrum Wadley. Although he ultimately went undrafted, he was one of the more intriguing running backs in the 2018 NFL Draft class. It was a shock that Wadley did not get drafted, but he quickly landed on the Titans’ roster as an undrafted free agent. After spending the preseason in Tennessee, Wadley was cut and not re-signed to their practice squad. He has been out of football since then.In college, Wadley was a human highlight reel. Wadley’s ability to make defenders miss is his greatest trait. He does not go down easy, and he fights for every yard. Wadley can also make an impact in the passing game, as he showed at Iowa. In his final two seasons Cheap Hayden Hurst Jersey , Wadley combined for over 2,000 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. He also added 64 receptions for 668 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He could be worthy of a practice squad spot if the Ravens can clear a spot for him. Charcandrick West started his NFL career with the Chiefs and was with them for four seasons before being cut in 2018. He then signed with the Jets but was cut before the regular season began. He is a serviceable running back, who could also make an impact in the passing game. Fitzgerald Toussaint is another veteran running back, and he actually started his NFL career in Baltimore. Toussaint was with the Ravens during the 2014 season. He served primarily as a special teams player. After being released by Baltimore in 2015, Toussaint spent the next few seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was also a special teamer and a third-string running back. He was released by Pittsburgh before the start of the 2018 season.The fifth running back Baltimore worked out was former Wisconsin Badger Dare Ogunbowale. He went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft but quickly signed with the Houston Texans. He has had stints with three different teams, including two times with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.The Ravens have several options if they choose to add a running back as they could sign any of these players or wait a couple of weeks until Kenneth Dixon can return to the field as one of their two injured reserve-designated to return players. According to the NFL rules, if a player is to be selected as one of two IR-DTR players, they must miss eight games before being activated.Stats to know from the Ravens’ 26-14 win over the Steelers The Ravens are now on their first winning streak of the 2018 season, as they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-14 on Sunday Night Football. This win not only improved their overall record to 3-1 but their divisional record to 1-1. They are currently in a tie with the Bengals for first place, but due to tiebreakers, the Bengals hold the top spot. With 12 games remaining, and another matchup with Cincinnati looming, a lot can change. In Week 4 Eric Weddle Jersey , the Ravens were impressive in all three phases. They were able to shutdown a highly ranked offense, while also dominating a poor defense. By the numbers, how were they so successful? 2: The Steelers only recorded two sacks, and quarterback Joe Flacco had plenty of time to throw against a weak secondary. Pittsburgh’s defense has been atrocious this season, but they are among the league leaders in sacks. The Ravens’ much-maligned offensive line limited a potent pass-rush.47.1%: Baltimore’s offense nearly converted 50% of their third down attempts, which aided their defense. They were able to use trick plays, play action and power runs among other concepts to convert on third down. For comparison, the Colts are currently the league’s best third down offense, as they have converted 51.6% of the time. Baltimore now ranks sixth in the league.25% (not including final drive): The Ravens’ offense was operating a league-high 12-for-12 in the red zone heading into Week 4. That streak reached 13-for-13 before ending with an Alex Collins fumble, and then two red zone trips ended in a field goal. This effort was enough to propel the Ravens to victory this week, but it will be a stat they will look to improve upon next week. The official stat book will count Baltimore’s final drive, which started at Pittsburgh’s 16-yard line.8.64: Joe Flacco’s 8.64 yards per attempt was his highest total in a regular season game since Week 12 of the 2014 season against the New Orleans Saints — 10.96. For perspective, Flacco’s 5.72 yards per attempt last season was the worst in the league.35:03: Pittsburgh only possessed the ball for 24:57, which is a testament to Baltimore’s stout defense. They were able to limit the Steelers’ dynamic offense and get them off the field Cheap Za'Darius Smith Jersey , while also forcing two turnovers. 4.8: The Ravens held Pittsburgh’s high-octane offense to only 4.8 yards per play. This is an incredible feat considering Baltimore was without both Jimmy Smith and Willie Henry. This defense continues to put the heat on opposing offenses when it matters most. 9: Baltimore’s defense has only allowed nine points in the second half this season. They have not allowed a single touchdown in the second half through four games, and Pittsburgh was scoreless in the final two quarters in Week 4.1.7: The Ravens limited the Steelers to 19 rushing yards on 11 attempts, which averages to 1.7 yards per rush. Baltimore’s run defense is fifth best in the league, and they have faced the 24th, 22nd, fourth and 28th best rushing attacks thus far. 71: John Brown’s 71-yard reception was not only the longest offensive play of Baltimore’s season, but it was the most yards gained on a single play since Mike Wallace’s 95-yard touchdown reception against the Steelers in Week 9 of the 2016 season. 1,352: Brown is on pace to finish the 2018 season with 1,352 yards, which would be the most by any Ravens’ receiver in a single-season. Michael Jackson currently holds the record as he posted 1,201 yards in the 1996 season.

Last November, the Indian cricket team embarked on a long journey away from home that included gruelling tours of Australia and New Zealand. During that time, India drew the Twenty20 International (T20I) series before winning the Tests and One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Australia. And then, they travelled to New Zealand where they demolished the hosts in ODIs before stuttering in the T20Is.

While their overseas tour has come to an end, India, now, await their next challenge which, once again, involves the Australian brigade. With revenge on their mind, the Aussie team will travel to India for two T20Is and five ODIs, slated to begin from 24th February.

But, after spending three months on the road, the Indian cricketers finally had a breather as the T20I series against Australia is still more than a week away. Several Indian cricketers were seen making the most of their time at home after they shared pictures and videos on the social media.

From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, here's how Indian cricketers are unwinding following their long overseas tour:
Rohit Sharma

The Indian opener didn't really have a great time as stand-in captain in the T20Is against New Zealand, losing the series 2-1. But, the 'Hitman' did find a reason to cheer for as he became the leading run-getter in the shortest format following a brilliant fifty in the second T20I in Auckland.

Upon his return to India, Rohit was elated to spend time with his daughter 'Samaira'. A video of Rohit playing with his daughter was also shared on the social media.

One of India's premier spinners, Kuldeep had a decent outing in both, Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to his exploits, the wrist-spinner recently notched up a career-best second position in the ICC's T20I rankings for bowlers. Clearly, the young spinner was happy to be home as he shared a photograph of himself in the company of his Team India mates Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal.

It is time to knuckle up! #knuckleup #workout #hardwork #life #tuesdaythoughts #keepgoingðª pic.twitter.com/CSeSbaur3L

The marauding Indian opener had a mixed outing in Australia and New Zealand. While he did get a lot of starts, Dhawan just couldn't capitalise and convert them into big individual scores. With the Aussies coming to India this month, Dhawan will be eager to make his presence felt in a bid to win over the fans.

And, that's exactly what might have been on his mind when he shared a brief video where the left-hander can be seen doing push-up on his knuckles.
Virat Kohli
Instagram
After helping his side in gaining an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series, Kohli was rested from the last two 50-over contests and the three T20Is against New Zealand. While his team stuttered to a narrow 2-1 loss in the T20Is, Kohli was seen exploring the scenic beauty of New Zealand with wife Anushka Sharma.

Early on Tuesday, the couple returned home and as soon as they landed at the Mumbai airport, the Indian captain shared a selfie of their arrival with the cricket fans on the social media.
Dinesh Karthik
Instagram
The Indian middle-order batsman was recently slammed for his antics during India's four-run loss against New Zealand in the deciding T20I. His decision to deny Krunal Pandya a crucial single in the final over didn't go down well with the fans. Karthik did manage to hit a six off the last ball, but it wasn't good enough to take India home.

But, that is now a thing of the past. The T20I series is done and dusted. And, Karthik is just happy to be back home and dig in to south Indian delicacies.
MS Dhoni

For someone who desperately needed to prove his mettle, MS Dhoni made the most of time during India's tour of Australia and New Zealand. The former Indian captain shut his critics with his 'Player of the Series' performance in the ODIs against Australia and then continued to play a crucial role in the middle-order against the Kiwis.

On the back of some sublime performances, Dhoni has not only won over fans, but has also impressed the selectors who'll surely take note of his exploits before announcing the Indian squad for the ICC World Cup in England and Wales. But, for now, Dhoni seemed really happy to return home.
